@vailripper, People love Jobs because he was not perfect. You are so quick to judge him I bet you've done things that are far worse.

That's not true. Did you see my comment about Jobs and Page? And honestly, the iPhone 4S do take better video compared to this phone. I'm not trolling.

Jobs was out-innovating everyone when he was heathy. Jobs was out-innovating everyone when he was sick. Jobs is still out-innovating everyone even when he's already dead.

What Google should've done is disable the garbage collector in Android/Dalvik the same way Apple did in iOS/Obj C. I don't know whether it's lack of foresight or incompetence on the part of Google, or maybe they were in a hurry to launch An

I posted this on another thread but I think it's worth repeating. Here's why Larry Page is doing poor job. A company's Return on Invested Capital is the ultimate measure of a company's valuation. it's not the PE, EPS, etc. Basically, ROIC i

Motorola's acquisition will go down in history as one of the top 5 dumbest business decisions of all time. I won't be surprised if Larry Page is replaced as CEO within 3-5 years.

it's a widely known issues. If you allocate objects in a user interface loop, you will force a periodic garbage collection, creating little "hiccups" in the user experience. The concurrent collector introduced in Gingerbread helps, but u

garbage collection is not limited to the UI. Games, etc. everything's affected by this. this is partly a Java "issue".

it is the issue. because it doesn't matter if you've got the fastest phone in the world if you can't use it because it's got spyware/malware/virus your phone's useless.

another note: iOS/Obj C does not do automatic garbage collection specifically for this reason (and battery life).

Hardware acceleration is just one piece of the puzzle. Garbage collection is another issue. with ICS, you will now be able to run the garbage collector on a different core. great in theory but experience tells me that's a band aid solution.

I'm amazed no one's mentioned this yet. it's not just hardware acceleration that's the problem with Android. it's the garbage collection constantly running in the background that's causing some of the performance issues and lag. Now with IC

is ICS going to fix all the crashes, virus/spyware/malware, poor battery life? will ICS even run on older Android phones? will your carrier even let you upgrade to ICS?
